Jon Jones is awkwardly tall next to Urijah Faber but they come together like peanut butter and chocolate smooth when they Dougie. Okay, that wasn’t my best use of metaphor but watch the very fun.

Okay, that wasn’t my best use of metaphor but watch the very fun video below with Jones and Faber getting their groove on in an RV!?!? Dancing With the Stars could see some new UFC talent next season…

As reported by SB Nation, Vancouver Athletic Commissioner, Jonathan Tweedale released the following statement in regard to the uproar over the Unanimous Decision win (scores: 29-28, 29-28, 30-27) awarded to Darren Elkins this past Saturday at UFC 131 over Michihiro Omigawa.
“In the first round, Elkins backed Omigawa up with punches the entire round. He controlled the center of the cage. He was throwing a lot more shots, and landing more — and in combination. If there is any controversy as to the outcome of the fight it must be because of the second round. That was a very challenging round to score. An argument can be made in favour of either fighter. Elkins landed more punches. At one point, when Omigawa came forward, he was stopped dead in his tracks by Elkins’ combination punches, and at another point he was slightly buckled. Due to Omigawa’s unusual stance and balance, it was difficult to tell exactly whether he was rocked by some of these shots. However, you could see Omigawa’s leg bend, and the control shift to Elkins as he landed the combo, stopping Omigawa in his tracks, taking the center of the cage, and going on the attack again. These sequences, as well as the total effective strikes landed, could reasonably warrant awarding the round to Elkins. Elkins didn’t land many more than Omigawa, but he did land more. (The Fightmetric numbers agree.) As to the blood – it represents something, but a cut can be caused by a glancing blow and some fighters just cut more readily than others.
That’s a round about which reasonable people can disagree. Close rounds like Round 2 of Omigawa vs Elkins serve as useful examples for discussion, to assist in refining and evolving the community’s understanding of the scoring criteria, generally. And that is a good thing for the sport.”
Fight Metric has not released an indepth data report for the Elkins vs. Omigawa. UFC did award Omigawa his win bonus.

MMAWeekly is reporting that all future Main Event bouts who are not already signed to contract will go five rounds.
White was specific in stating all future bout agreements for main event non-title fights would be five round affairs.
This will be the first time in the modern history of the sport that MMA has had five round fights that are not championship bouts.
White has long talked about making the move, and said they almost made the jump at UFC 131, but bout agreements had already been signed and the fighters were already in training camps to prepare for a three round fight.
White also specified that this policy is in effect for any show that the UFC produces whether it’s a pay-per-view or a UFC Fight Night event, main event fights will be 5 round non-title bouts.
Budlight produced a commercial to hype up their sponsored event with the UFC in New Orleans called Battle on the Bayou. The event is expected to be headlined by Alan Belcher vs. Jason McDonald, but.
Budlight produced a commercial to hype up their sponsored event with the UFC in New Orleans called Battle on the Bayou. The event is expected to be headlined by Alan Belcher vs. Jason McDonald, but outside of a cage, most casual fans wouldn’t recognize those two guys, so Budlight decided to cast two of the most recognizable faces in the UFC.
Jones seems like a natural with acting and delivering scripted lines on camera, maybe because he’s a fake ass white boy, but that’s not our opinion, we just heard that from someone. White is good with his head movement and expressions. Check it out below.
UFC 130 delivered a few special moments, including a tremendous knock out (Superman Punch) of Stefan Struve by Travis Browne and a great Memorial Day Weekend Win for Brian Stann who KO’d Jorge Santiago in.
UFC 130 delivered a few special moments, including a tremendous knock out (Superman Punch) of Stefan Struve by Travis Browne and a great Memorial Day Weekend Win for Brian Stann who KO’d Jorge Santiago in the 2nd round. The fights also offered some interesting news bits… like that we should all take better notice of Rick Story as he earned a 6th win to his fight streak in the Welterweight division. And even though Frank Mir clearly dominated Roy Nelson in their 3 rounds, it was still Mir who suffered a broken jaw and was off to the hospital while Nelson joyfully blamed Dan Hardy for his poor “british wrestling” that may have lost him the fight. Lastly, we heard pending the outcome of his hand injury that Quinton “Rampage” Jackson will receive the title-shot against Jon Jones.
And with the fight card’s culmination we also see that despite any injuries and losses suffered, all the fighters still managed to get out to their after parties and have a good time.

While the debating and moaning is underway in regards to the fact that Georges St. Pierre once again fought to a victory, sans no stoppage, news is beginning to surface regarding the eye injury he incurred. While his trainer Greg Jackson has pointed to the injury as a reason that, you know, it’s kind of hard to stop one of the world’s best welterweights when you’re not seeing too well, there are still some who are likely questioning that excuse. Now Cage Potato has this clip up which clearly shows Jake Shields’ finger introducing itself to GSP’s eye socket, but yeah, there are still going to be some who just aren’t down with anything short of a KTFO finish.
The good news for GSP fans, and the UFC, is that it’s looking like the champion’s eye injury isn’t too serious. A couple of updates have appeared on St. Pierre’s Twitter account, where apparently the P4P contender has stated within the last 24 hours that he’s alright.
Hey guys just want to say that I am ok. I’ll need to see a doctor in the next days! Yesterday I was told it was not a retina problem
Hopefully this means that GSP won’t have too long of an extended layoff and he’ll have another bout lined up soon, although, decision after decision complaints or not, the fact remains he’s running out of dudes to fight. We touched on the possibility of Nick Diaz yesterday, but the UFC might also wait and see what goes down with Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami in August. Superfight NYE?
